That number for the Giants is a result of them getting Saquon Barkley signed to his rookie deal, as he now counts for $5.6 million towards the cap. Connor Barwin, who was also recently signed, counts for $1.6 million towards the cap.

The Giants are also in the early stages of contract negotiations with superstar wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who is entering the final year of his rookie deal making $8.45 million. He is looking for an extension worth upwards of $100 million.

It would be possible for the Giants to extend Beckham beyond this season, leaving his 2018 salary untouched or, potentially, even lower. The more substantial hits would, of course, come over the next few years.
